Environmental and Mug Shot- Halle Freitas

 



Halle Freitas, 17, is currently a student enrolled at Lebanon High school and taking a class at LBCC. She is currently taking Calculus at Linn-Benton and taking two college courses in high school: AP government and AP Literature. Because of COVID, all her classes have been online.

 “School has been rough online, it’s harder to be in the mindset to learn and it’s been taking a toll on me mentally”, Freitas explains. 

As far as her career path goes, she plans to possibly go into business. Her original plan was to go into chemical engineering, but she changed her mind because she decided that that’s not truly what she wants to do. After she finishes high school, she would like to go to Oregon State University for their band program.

My name is Megan Freitas, i'm 20 years old and currently enrolled at LBCC majoring in journalism. This is currently my second year of college and I will be graduating with my Associate of Arts after spring term. After I graduate, my plan is to cover editing or writing for online media sites.

My greatest challenge in college has been being able to get over my social anxieties and learn to put myself out there, as I'm pretty introverted by nature.  In my free time, I spend a lot of time gaming, creating pieces of art in various forms, listening to music, and involving myself in anything expressive.

I even have a blog I just started where I share my daily learnings. As for pets, I have an Australian Shepherd dog ...

Addario Book Report

          In Lindsey Addario's book, "It's What I Do", my favorite anecdote comes from chapter 7, where Addario speaks about her time in Africa. She went from Abeche, tp Bahai, tin Darfur. She had to sneak in illegally for interviews because the government was not allowing journalist visas. He journey once there was a five-day one, where they carried everything on back. She speaks about how Darfur is different than other places she has seen such as Afghanistan and Iraq. She experienced the kind of war where everyone was kind of against one another, including your own people. Out of the many anecdotes from this book, this was one that stood out because it puts into perspective how much freedom and privilege we have in America. Even though we may not like aspects of how our country is at times, we are able to have moments of safety and peace. Places such as Darfur are very different. They live their lives in fear, especially the women, in several ways. Everyone ca...
